people, with buckets in hand, were
walking from place to place trying. to

The Invitation Declined.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 18.-Mayor
Pond, OF this city, received a letter
from President Cleveland to-day,
dated at Washington, September 7, in
which he declines the invitation to
visit San Francisco, and says: 81
am not, however, permitted at this
time to vel entertain so pleasant an
anticipation as the thought of going to
the Pacific Coast. The journey | con-
template making, is the outgrowth of
promises to visit st. Louis and Atlanta
upon certain fixed dates, with a fort
night intervening, which will be used
to visit other local cities that can be
easily reached, and the time the full
fllment of these engagements will con-
sumo, is substantially all that | can
devote to the trip. The Inequalities
of the people of your city are not I'M
known in the East, but they are still
left to me to hold in pleasant hope for
the future"
The Celebrated Mrs. Cunningham.
New York, Sept. 1S.-Mrs. Emma
A. Williams, known far and wide
thirty years ago and for many years
after as Mrs. Cunningham, defendant
in the celebrated Burdell murder case,
died Tuesday at the residence of her
niece in this city and will be buried
to-day. Mrs. Williams was known to
a very few here as the woman con-
nected with the most mysterious Of
New York's most famous murder
cases. She came to New York about
a month ago on a visit from her home
in Lower California, where she mar
ried a man named Williams, who was
the wealthy owner OF mining property.
Her husband left her, taking with him
all stocks and bonds and his where
abouts are unknown. Mrs. Williams
was nearly 80 years old.
The Anarchists.
New YORK, Sept. 1S.-There is con-
siderable difference of opinion among
lawyers as to the possibility of getting
the case of the Chicago Anarchists be-
fore the United States Supreme Court.
If impossible, the precedent will have
an important bearing ON many other
cases, notably that of Jacob Sharp.
District Attorney MARITIME thinks that
nothing but the interference of the
Governor of Illinois will save the men
from death. Organized labor will
take an active part in the effort to
rescue the men. At the meeting of
the Central Labor Union on Sunday,
Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, will
introduce a resolution in behalf OF the
Anarchists and will present outlines
of the National Labor movement to
bring the matter before Governor
Oglesby.
